      - A master's degree in sociolinguistics
      - A knack for learning new content management systems
      - A love of working with invested SMEs
      - A basic understanding of web dev
      - Strong boundaries

                                @phantasus closer to the first one
                                And not just the "don't use AI at all"
                                After somebody pointed out that the client could replace me with someone who uses AI,
                                I conceded "if you must use AI, then test it with tests that mean something"

                                they could have called my bluff by giving me the resources I asked for
                                instead they left me on read for three weeks and then fired me

                                    so I got laid off again, for stupid AI-pilled reasons.

                                    Anybody need a writer or editor with:
                                    - 8+ years of technical writer/content strategist experience, mostly in software
                                    - One published short fiction anthology (as editor)
                                    - A master's degree in sociolinguistics
                                    - A knack for learning new content management systems
                                    - A love of working with invested SMEs
                                    - A basic understanding of web dev
                                    - Strong boundaries
                                    - An aversion to generative AI?

                                      The amazing teams one could make with the phenomenal people discarded by the ai-pillocks.

                                        @trochee one could, and someone should. Makes me wish I had literally any fundraising or people-organizing experience.

                                          just catching some timeline things that slipped by the past few days - sorry to hear about the layoff. This unemployment jungle is getting crowded ... 😩

                                          Boosted ya on the TL, hope there's some fedi hiring traction!
